Description: Perhaps the most exceptional aspect of the current era of globalisation is that entrepreneurship has become the engine for local processes of economic, social and cultural development throughout the world. This book brings together a number of leading scholars in the field to explore the development aspect of globalisation, in particular those that foster the evolution of entrepreneurs in local-global processes.
